Very solid comeback show
I hesitate to give this 5 stars, but in the context of being the first show in over 8 months, and their first true "comeback" performance, this is a very fine show. Scarlet has a very nice, mellow jam that wanders but never strays. Same goes for the Help>Slip, which is probably the most exploratory to date. Crazy Fingers is not quite 6/14/76, but very well done. Let it Grow is also pretty nice, if a bit unfocused.
The highlight of the entire show just might be the Dancin: this version is unique to those performed later on the tour, partly because Garcia employs a very gritty, dirty tone that just sounds amazing! The jam is also more aggressive and funkier than usual. I'll go out on a limb and declare this one of the best "Disco" Dancin's ever, in fact.

Don't miss this one
Mellow show. Standout Crazy Fingers, in my opinion, among others. Good set list, good show!

I think this show is magical
The set list, the way they play the songs, for example the Sampson intro is really interesting. Keith it's in full genius mode, Donna is on point, Jerry is inspired and Bob and Phil are just right. I am partial to the Keith era, and this show doesn't disappoint. 5 stars!

fingers
nearly studio fingers, faboo
this month of this year is about as good as the band got, frankly
i think this is because it was after the drugs kicked in, but before the drugs kicked in, temporaneously and extemporaneously
also, the drugs were probably pretty good then, but based upon the way people interact (not) with each other, it seems the drug of choice has become an app, a flapp, a piece of crapp, an app
the music at its worst then was way more interesting than what we are to take is the best we can get now
tape is a better drug than binary digits
sadly, instead of cooking tape, we got people cooking meth , and that's about how the music sounds
i thought meth was great, but it ain't
people thought tape wasn't that great, but it is
it's like that shitty van halen (cover?) song
won't you tell me, where have all the good drugs gone?
and, on the flipper
won't you tell me, what the hell is all this goddam crappy appy garbage druggage? is that why people think war is good now? the drugs ...
the wrong drugs- mass media drug, drug of shame
stick to June '76 in deadland , can do no wrong drugs, but don't do drugs, just go swim in the bay, better than having to be high for the whole day and can't come down, but that's better than the best app on the best day
app = crapp
social media = destroy people "socially"
grateful dead = shake it if you got it, or pretend you do and shake it anyway
